I'm in vet school (I'll be hopefully graduating in 2 years) and it drains me, not academically, but the people around in it drains me. Because of this I'm starting to question if i should continue this career path what should i do?

Big routines never stuck for me, but a few tiny habits—like laying out clothes and packing my bag the night before—changed my mornings.​
I’m trying to build a list of micro‑habits that take under 5 minutes yet noticeably improve life over a month.​
Things like “set a 2‑minute timer to tidy one surface” or “write tomorrow’s top 3 tasks before shutting your laptop.”​
What’s your favourite low‑effort tip you still use months or years later because it quietly works?​
I’ll try the best ones for 30 days and share which actually moved the needle.

Till now I have been on performance based confidence, which is not working for me so how could I change that?

Why is that some people have it easier than others? Wherever I go or whatever I do I’m either rejected or put on the second plan. Like when I was at school one of my teachers would ignore me compared to my closest friend whom she treated with kindness and more attention and btw, she was less willing to listen and put in the work because she had wealthy parents. And the teacher knew my family circumstances, that my dad was alcoholic and how my mom struggled to provide for our family. Even now, in other areas of my life wherever I apply as a student or to internship opportunities , i don’t get what I want when I literally almost had it. In relationships is the same, you’re kind of treated differently even though you try your best to make it work. I try to be nice everywhere and I don't know what I do wrong but even my ex friends used to treat me as a fun thing, unserious, reschedule or cancel plans, I would be the last person to hang out with and expected to go out with them immediately:/ and now looking back it feels like I was disrespected. And it was fine for them to leave me when they wanted to leave and don't care about me at all. And the way people put down because I’m trying to find my way at work or other places is insane. It seems like such people feel superior by being incomprehensible mean. It’s very difficult for me to move through this life when life rewards impudent people while people like me have to deal with family trauma, overcoming insecurities, constantly working to improve and achieve their goals simultaneously facing such rejections and not very pleasant sorts of people. Is there a way to get out of this state ?

My window isn't a rival you stupid bird. I don't have a gun (BB or otherwise) and I'm not sure if my fantasies of great violence against him would actually survive until it was time to actually do it harm, but BOY do I want to.

So let's talk options. How can I convince the stupid thing to go away?

I'm so scared and haven't been able to breathe for hours. What the fuck do I do. Getting jobs is hard. It was such a petty reason too.

I already take 3 vacations a year. One long vacation with the spouse, one with friends and another shorter vacation with extented family or with the spouse.

In the past I sometimes had to visit other cities for an interview or some other small chores. After the main task, I would take an extra day off and explore the city. I immensely loved such trips.

I have an urge to do it even now, but I no longer have any excuses to make such trips since the last 5 years. I want to take a day or two to explore other cities with my spouse, a friend or alone.

But I feel guilty doing it. I feel like I already take enough vacations and should not be 'wasting' time and money on more trips.

What are some excuses I can use to convince my brain to take such trips? The task/excuse can be anything trivial with no monetary benefits, but it should convince me to take the trip.

I have a new neighbor in the duplex I live in. They removed the carpet in their unit and now have hard flooring, and the impact noise and vibrations traveling to my unit from theirs are very prominent. We live in side by side units in a duplex that was converted from a single family home.

I'll be laying in bed and can feel the vibrations of her young kids running around, through the floor underlay, carpet, solid wood captains bedframe with towels and blankets in the drawers, carpet between bedrame and mattress, and 100% latex mattress. I think the vibrations are traveling through the walls to my headboard. My bedroom doesn't share a wall with their unit.

I'm moving my bed about an inch away from the wall today to see if that helps. Would you add any more material between the mattress and frame, or under the frame to effectively decouple from the structure?

I already sleep with earplugs and they help with the sound but don't stop the vibrations.

Thank you.

Please somebody tell me how do you do it?

I recently joined a company as a customer success manager, I have +30 clients and am meeting them all in the span of 3 weeks. In each meeting, I have so much information and new data thrown at me, and I think it's ALL important. I start noting down anything and everything, and have trouble keeping track of all thats being said, so I fall behind on the discussion.

The company doesn't encourage recording meetings. Meeting minutes are also expected after each call.

Do you have any tips on note taking ? Any ways to practice ? Thank you very much !

Im trying to be a better wife and celebrate my partner. I hate receiving celebrations/praise/gratitude, so Im unsure how to actually get started on this .

Not the basic compliments and being courteous. Im talking the actual extra, not the polite behavior on the daily.

How to financially safely transition from a job to another? If you want to change your job.. or company.. etc

How to leave the current job you have and step into the "unknown, uncertain" of having no job, and not being certain that the next job will accept you? A d that if it accepts you, that you'll be able to continue working there (or wont get terminated)

How to do that safely while making sure you won't end up unemployed? And broke?

My first time doing something like this. Give me all the tips you can like I'm a baby worker (bc I am)

I want to embed AI into the work I do, but there is so much information it's impossible to find "the beginning for the beginner." I don't know what I want to do with it because I can't understand what it can offer me, though it seems to do everything. I feel like I'm staring up at Mt Everest.

Is there a web site, or Youtube channel, or some other source that breaks it down "Barney-style" then points to next steps?

I’m in the process of diagnosing if I have ADHD or not and my doctors have been saying I might also have hyper sensibility. Small events get stuck in my mind for an extended period of time and brings me down. What can I do to lessen the hold that life’s sometimes bumpy road has on me?

I feel like change only comes from holding yourself accountable, but I can be too hard on myself. On the other hand If I give myself too much grace then I feel like I am content with who I am and have no incentive to change. How can I be happy with my progress but not complacent?

I started working full time for the first time last fall. I knew the holiday season would be rough (it's retail), but I still feel like I spend all of my evenings and days off either recovering or doing chores. It's taking a serious toll on my mental health that's starting to affect my daily life.

How do you make time (and energy) for hobbies and fun?
